// Programs using times should typically store and pass them as values,

// type time.Time, not *time.Time. A Time value can be used by
// multiple goroutines simultaneously.

// A Time value can be used by multiple goroutines simultaneously except

// Time instants can be compared using the Before, After, and Equal methods.
// The Sub method subtracts two instants, producing a Duration.
